It probably did need an upgrade, but the old site was quite distinctive. I'm not sure I like the new look. Don't change WS!

There’s a bit of a revolt going on over there, very many are unhappy. I think we may get a lot more migrating to here if it doesn’t calm down.

Classic example of new gui not being an improvement. Wonder who made the decision and who tested it. It's perfectly functional, at least from a computer, don't know about mobile. Either way, not a fan.

I’m honestly at a loss to understand what the uproar is about. At minimum the new site works much better on Tapatalk.

My initial reaction was WTF!
But I think that once the fuss has died down, we or anyone who goes there will get used to it. This happens every time a forum changes its shirt.
A bonus seems to be that they cleared out the 'banned member' log...I reregistered with an old (banned) name and e-mail address. Let's see how long my journey lasts this time

The old software was really outdated and started to come apart at the seams. The new XenForo is better in every way... BUT. The implementation is not a labor of love - it's the standard VerticalScope forum, not the SCWF.
Yes, user do make the forum, but somehow the old forum felt... intimate. Now the door's wide open to marketing / tracking / click optimization.
Meh. They don't care about the SCWF part, really. It's "TheWatchSite" now.

...not sure why though.

I have not bothered to even bring up that website in a looong time, but now I suppose I'll need to check out the new look.
Whitewashed , generic, just like so many other forums out there.

Rob Archeo-peteriX. It was a name given to me on the old BMW E30 forum. It's a play on archaeopteryx; I'm old and my car model was the 'iX'. You will notice this in my avatar which was drawn by the same person

I don't post over there all that much but occasionally lurk. IMO the new design is not all that bad. Clean and easy to read. I still like the GUI of WristSushi though. Please don't change it mods!

The last time I was over there I was jumped, beaten, mugged, and left for dead.
Needless to say I don't go over there anymore.

I view and post on 7 different forums exclusively on Tapatalk. It's just too easy and convenient not to, so I really can't see a difference.
I will say this one is the most wacky though, as it often doesn't go to my last post. Meaning if I view all pictures/posts in a wruw thread, then post my picture, which will then be the last one, when I go back to that thread it's never in order.

You'll have to excuse Peter.
He is from an older generation (much much older) and was raised in a different time and in a different (95%white) country

Well, I've had enough time now to assess the state of the SCWF. It is a define pre-Alpha release that not only hasn't been well thought out but is like a Chrysler product...sent to market for the buyers to debug! I'm not talking about the presentation of look of the forum but the total screwed up functionality of it. I only hope that Wrist Sushi can handle the influx of frustrated SCWF members.
Where is Poseidon Jim and his membership drive when the old SCWF members need guidance
